Quotes Will Liked
“Once, in my father's bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later—no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget—we will return.”

You may note when this book was read, and a "review" posted. It took a while to build up to the somewhat larger things I post these days.
Ah, just noticed the dates. lol!
Havent got it would you recommend it and how much would you give it out of 5.

Glad you liked this, Will (and your last reply did make me smile).: )
I did, Kevin. Although this review does not quite express how much. I was not writing at that time the sort of reviews I post these days.

It's a book I would like to revisit one day, although it got a bit ho-hum in the middle chapters.
chose it for our book group a couple of years ago and it was well received.
It seems like an excellent book group selection
Just finished this one! I found it awesome !
Wow!!!! These are the least words you have used to describe a book. So far I've read, as it is.
It was from before I started writing more substantive reviews.

I was surprised and sorry to hear he died at such a young age. Pat
A real shame
